Conjuring’ Movies in Chronological Order (and Where to Stream Them)
Warner Bros.
If you haven’t heard of The Conjuring series, then clearly you’ve been living under a rock. It’s like the Marvel universe, but for those who want to be scared out of their wits. And let me tell you, it does that job a little too well. I mean, come on, name another horror movie franchise in the last decade that can match the creepy thrills of The Conjuring. I dare you, I double dare you!
This spooky journey began with a seemingly innocent haunted house, a theme we’ve seen countless times before. But these supernatural flicks take it to a whole new level with their paranormal meets possession storyline. The first film, released in 2013, introduced us to the dynamic duo of paranormal investigators and lovebirds, Ed and Lorraine Warren, played brilliantly by Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga. Since then, the franchise has grown to include possessed dolls, evil nuns, and more hauntings than you can shake a sage stick at. And here’s the real kicker: some of the horror is actually based on true stories. Goosebumps, anyone?
Now, hold on to your safety blankets because we’re about to dive headfirst into the twisted timeline of The Conjuring series. With a whopping nine movies to navigate, it’s essential to watch them in the right order. Lucky for you, we’ve done the spooky work and put together the ultimate binge-watching guide. Just make sure you have your favorite movie snack (and maybe a nightlight) handy, because you’re in for a chilling ride.
